C-SPAN suspends Scully after he admits to lie about hack
Source: AP News
NEW YORK (AP) — C-SPAN suspended its political editor Steve Scully indefinitely Thursday after he admitted to lying about his Twitter feed being hacked when he was confronted about a questionable exchange with former Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci.
The news came on the day of what was supposed to be a career highlight for the 30-year C-SPAN veteran. Scully was to moderate the second debate between President Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden, which was canceled after Trump would not agree to a virtual format because of his COVID-19 diagnosis.
A week ago, after Trump had criticized him as a “never Trumper,” Scully tweeted “@Scaramucci should I respond to Trump.” Scaramucci, a former Trump communications director and now a critic of the president, advised Scully to ignore him.
Scully said that when he saw his tweet had created a controversy, “I falsely claimed that my Twitter account had been hacked.”

I'd say this has blown up the possibility of any future Debate this year under the aegis of the Commission.

When my mom first got cable at her house in Philly back in 1989 (not long after they finally approved the city franchises and wired the neighborhoods), the first thing she turned on was CNN (she was a BIG Ted Turner fan) and the second thing she turned on was CSPAN. 
I know I am a junkie. Yes I admit it. We can toss off names like Brian Lamb and Steve Sculley and Susan Swain like they're our next door neighbors.
of "old heads" like Peter Slen to the right and Bill Scanlan (nowadays sporting a full beard, mustache, and glasses) to the left...
